Martin Le Tocq reviewed: Two day stone carving course at Snowshill Manor

"An excellent weekend. The Cotswold venue was beautiful, and perfect weather helped. The projects were well chosen and after basic instruction, Miranda came round and advised, corrected and helped us onto the next stage. We all (nine of us) made good progress through the weekend, and although some were unable to complete their work, Miranda showed us how this could be done at home. She was also very helpful with advice concerning stone, tools and resources."

Amerton Arts Studio responded:

"Thank you for your review Martin, glad you enjoyed the weekend. Best wishes Miranda"

Graham and Sophie reviewed: Two day stone carving course at Snowshill Manor

"Everyone on the course finished their project to a very good standard which tells you how good the tuition was. Miranda had the skill of stepping in with tips when needed but not actually doing it for you. Sociable, enjoyable, productive and in a wonderful location too - what more could you want!"

Amerton Arts Studio responded:

"Thank you, glad you both enjoyed the weekend. Miranda"

"Had a great two days in a lovely setting. I learnt a lot from Miranda and came away with a sculpture of a seahorse which I’m very pleased with. Choice of 4 projects. I found it less physically demanding than I thought it would be. Highly recommend this course, a fun weekend! "

Catharine Fleming reviewed: Two day stone carving course at Snowshill Manor

"Will never look at stone carvings in museums and cathedrals the same way again! Spent two lovely days with Miranda teaching in Snowshill Manor's orchard, learning the skills required to pull something interesting out of a block of limestone. Instruction was expert and focused, and it was fun to learn a new way to be creative."
